First Attempt...

My mom has always told us about how she was insistent upon having a picture taken of my Dad & her leaving their house for the last time as a twosome (before coming home with a baby & becoming a threesome). So of course we had to have one of those too! My Dad was sweet enough to come by our house this morning at 7:30 AM to take our picture befor we headed to the hospital for what we thought was going to be induction day. Wrong!
We got there, they hooked me up to the monitors to check on things, then checked on my progress - nothing had changed - still 1 cm dialated. They told us that we could have the option of being induced today or not & after talking about it together, we decided that we wanted to meet our little one today! After having us sit in the waiting room for 1/2 hour, they came in to tell us that they were at full capacity & since there was another woman who had to be induced due to medical complications, they had to send us home. Boy were we disappointed. They scheduled us to go back on Friday the 12th and since that would make us 10 days overdue they said that that day would definitely be the day. OK!! We are ready!!!

Due Date...

So August 2nd came & went with no exciting progress. No contractions - no nothing. Our appointment on the 5th proved that truly nothing was going on. I was only 1 cm dialated so they scheduled another apt. for the 9th & may induce that day - yay :) We are getting really excited now!!!

Graduation Present...

Now that I am officially a college graduate I was given the amazing opportunity to pick out a new ride. We went into the city to check out some that interested me with the intention of then buying in Winchester. I thought that I wanted an Acadia but after looking at it more closely decided against it. At first I wasn't interested in the new Explorer but after test driving it & inspecting it & finding out about it's features we were sold. Thank goodness Winchester Ford had a silver one - I love it!!! It is the perfect chariot for our future little one :)

Me...

For those of you who haven't seen me preggers...7 months & counting!!

New addition...

Nope - not us yet :) Our new nephew was born June 28 - William Reid. Amy, Will and their crew are doing well & enjoying time at home with him. Congrats!!!
